Saturated Community
It is coming to a point that I am disliking closet cases as much as homophobes. I mean, why is it that within the community, and especially here, no one finds the need to create a better bond between us. Why is it that we are quick to snap at each other and disragard each other. No one has a sense of communtiy, that they relate to a certain person because of orientation and they have thier back. It's like black-on-black crime, it crumbles the community, gives us a bad name, and we don't get anywhere. So much bitching, no doing.

Hello 1814...I have been a silent reader for a while...
I think it's very hard to be your total self back home...I have 2 gays cousins and I hear horrible things being said about them...but deep inside I love them and I never judge them for their sexual orientation...I wish I could show more support but it is hard to do that while everyone else is judging...you sure need a lot of strength to be open and I admire that...
I'm more of myself here in the states and I have gay friends who I love to hangout with...but I don't know if I could hangout with them in Kuwait without feeling any restraints!
I do sound like a hypocrite but I'm not, I really wanna be more supportive but I don't know how!
Again I admire you for being open and being yourself…stay strong dear :)

Tata,
True.
Kwt_reader,
I understand the trials and tribulations of coming out and it's not a fun ride, at first, believe me. But, if we don't take steps, no matter how tiny, then we sulk in our 'shame.' I feel like completely coming out might not be an answer. But finding modes of communication with others like you and supporting other liberal causes are essential. I seem to have a great job intact without while enjoying being out.
Jelly,
same as above. support liberal causes... I didn't know I ad silent readers, thats cool.

more and over...
reader, your 1,2,3s are of uge importance to you. But, some people are willing to sacrifice all that to live an honest life. Take it from a person who as been through it, it is the fastest way to know your real friends.
If you wish to lead that kind of life you might as well pull a woman/man into your closet by way of marriage and live your hetty life. What good have you done to your community? Nothing...
jelly,
I am sure hanging out with your gay friends is not that much of a scandal. If you hear horrible things about your beloved ones then act up.
If we were living by the naysayers standards we'd be worse than the taliban by now.

Liberty was acquired by people who were not afraid to show thier trueness not sideliners.
btw, QAF made me want to crawl back into the closet with it's ludicrous portrayal of gay lives.

Last thing I want is to get the hetty's acceptance. I am just opting for a live-and-let-live situation which is a basic human right. My blog wasn't for thier acceptance as I disagree with 80% of what this society does on a daily basis.
I was asking my fellow liberals and LGBT people to unite and help each other out. The conservatives help each other out. The beardos are all in unison. Why is it that we never do that but bitch and moan on the situation. Most likely a gay guy will hiss at another one then relate. Why is that. I guess we are together in that, to bad there's no visibilty.
...
I love Beautiful Thing and just got All Over The Guy, can't bring myself to watch it. The L Word is taking up all my time.
....
Glad to see that my people are reading my blog, I hope it is speaking of what they can't speak of.
